2 more players leave football program--Updates Via Falcon Fodder

Falcon Fodder at The Blade had a football update, and there was some news in the post, so check it out. I will summarize here....

First, we knew Hurley had left the program.  Falcon Fodder lets us know that DB Aunre Davis and RB Erique Geiger have also left.

Davis is transferring to Mercyhurst.  He was in Clawson's first recruiting class.  He made 3 career starts and 9 tackles in the 2010 Miami game, but made 0 tackles last year.

Geiger was also in that first class.  He had 52 yards on 19 carries last year and 6 receptions.  He made one start late in the year.  He added depth to the RB corps.  No word on where he is going.

As always in these situations, my attitude is that it is their life and they have to live it.  I got to make my own choices and so should they, so we wish all 3 of them the best.

Falcon Fodder talks about a couple JUCO players who are in the house.  You have heard about both of them here before.  WR Michael Allen was a guy we wondered about because he had no football activity last season, but it turns out he was a short a class and could not go to San Diego State as planned.  So, he sat out and now is coming to BG.

The other guy is C David Kekuewa.  Both are enrolled and will be in Spring Practice.

They will be joined by Coy Brown, a true freshman, and WR Jermal Hosley, who was part of last year's class but delayed his start due to a summer injury.

One that I have not written about is Andre Givens.  Givens signed a LOI to Pitt in 2010, never played there and went to a Prep School instead.  He enrolled at BG last Fall.  He did not practice with the team or appear on the roster.  According to Falcon Fodder, Givens was one of the top RBs in Ohio as a HS player, and will be able to participate in football once he clears up some eligibility issues.

You don't know what to expect with a guy like that, but it would appear that he has the tools to contribute if everything can be focused right.  And depth at RB will be key.
